Fatal Accident Compensation - Help Claiming At This Difficult Time

Fatal Accident Compensation - Help Claiming At This Difficult Time: "In situations involving a fatal accident, it would be especially wise to bring on an accident compensation solicitor. As a third party, they can work to gather any evidence on behalf of the family members of the deceased. When it comes to compensation, a solicitor will also help to come to a fair compensation payout. Although monetary compensation can never make up for such a personal loss, it is important to make up for any costs that were incurred and any future financial losses that are jeopardized as a result of the accident. Accident compensation can cover costs that may have resulted such as medical expenses up until the time of death and funeral expenses. Fatal accident compensation will also take into account the financial situation that the remaining family members of the victim are left in. For example, if the victim was the sole or significant income provider for a household, or carer of a child then they will be compensated to make up for it."

Health & Safety at Work, Duties of Workplaces & Workers | Ur Health Safety

Health & Safety at Work, Duties of Workplaces & Workers | Ur Health Safety: "HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK LAWS, LEGAL OBLIGATIONS IN LAW OF WORKERS AND WORKPLACES
The Health and Safety at Work Act and various directives and industrial health and safety regulations are increasingly charging employers and employees with duties at the workplace.

Employers’ legal duties regarding workers and others, and employees’ statutory duties to employers and fellow workers, make it essential to businesses and their workforce to have some appreciation of basics of the work safety requirements and related decisions of the courts.


Factories Act 1961 applies where mechanical machinery is used by a business. It requires the workplace to be properly lit, properly ventilated, with sufficient toilet facilities. Under this Act moving machinery must have a fence surround; must be properly constructed and maintained, e.g., all hoists, lifts; must be kept unobstructed all floors, passages, and stairs; floors must not have slippery surfaces, and fire-escapes must be provided and maintained -due care must be exercised to avoid risks being taken or caused both to and by employees which may result in injury."

As Gulf Oil Disaster Worsens, Concern for Safety of Oil-Rig Workers Gets Less Attention

As Gulf Oil Disaster Worsens, Concern for Safety of Oil-Rig Workers Gets Less Attention  "WORKERS AT HUNDREDS OF GULF OIL RIGS FACE DANGERS

Worker advocates are quick to acknowledge the severity of the ongoing leak. Still, many also warn that ignoring the worker safety issues exposed by the tragedy would be a mistake, especially considering that hundreds of oil and gas rigs — among the most statistically dangerous workplaces in the country — remain active off the nation’s shores.

“The worker-safety issue has been completely lost in this story,” said Tom O’Connor, executive director of the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health, an advocacy group. “It’s one of the biggest industrial disasters in recent history, and yet Congress [views it] the same as the public: They’re not seeing it as a worker-safety issue.”"
